The single-use bioreactors market is expected to reach 2,685.1 million
by 2022 from USD 997.6 million in 2017 at a CAGR of 21.9%

Increasing adoption of SUBs among small companies and startups and
reduced automation complexity are the major factors driving the adoption
of single-use bioreactors. The growing biologics market and patent
expiry of many blockbuster drugs are expected to create tremendous
growth opportunities for the single-use bioreactors market. On the other
hand, extractability and leachability issues regarding disposable
components used in bioreactors and regulatory concerns related to SUBs
are the major factors restraining the growth of this market.

On the basis of product, the single-use bioreactors market is segmented
into single-use bioreactor systems, media bags, filtration assemblies,
and other SUBs. In 2017, single-use bioreactor systems segment is
expected to account for the largest share of the single-use bioreactors
market. Factors such as reduced risk of contamination and easy
implementation in bioproduction are driving the adoption of SUBs.

On the basis of application, the market is classified into
bioproduction, process development, and research & development. In 2017,
the manufacturing services segment is expected to account for the
largest share of the market. Increasing competition for new indications
and the launch of biosimilars in the market are the major factors that
have put pressure on manufacturers to produce biopharmaceuticals at
lower costs.

The large share of North America can be attributed to increasing usage
of single-use bioreactors in the R&D and process development stage as
compared to other regions. Many local players are coming up with
single-use products in the US with a new homegrown concept which is only
prevalent in the US.
